Introducing the Italeri 1290 1/72 S.79 Sparviero kit

The Italeri 1/72 S.79 Sparviero kit recreates the Italian three-engined aircraft that saw both civilian and military service around the Second World War. Valued for its speed and operational range, the S.79 presents a notable subject for modellers interested in period aviation and compact display pieces.

Modelling highlights and historical notes

Despite modest defensive features, the S.79s role in maritime operations makes it a compelling choice for a historically inclined build. The kit offers accurate external shaping and surface detail suitable for weathering and marking variations favoured by scale hobbyists.

Finished size and presentation

The assembled model measures 22.5 cm overall and conveys the Sparviero's streamlined profile in 1/72 scale. Proper finishing and decal placement yield a convincing small-scale replica for cabinets or themed displays.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Dimensions: 22.5 cm in length
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
Build time varies with skill and finishing level. Expect several evenings for assembly and straightforward painting; additional detailing or weathering will extend the schedule.
Yes, its compact size makes it suitable for small airfield or naval base dioramas. Adding figures or ground equipment enhances scale realism.
Soak decals briefly, slide them into place on a glossy surface, and use a soft brush to remove trapped air. Finish with a clear coat to protect and integrate them into the paintwork.
